Preventing colon cancer
Co-author Dr Brigitta Stockinger, group leader at the Francis creek institute, said: "it is of great interest to observe the profound effects of diet on bowel inflammation and colon cancer. We often think of colon cancer as a disease promoted by a western diet low in fat and vegetables Red Cabbage Extract, and our findings suggest the mechanism behind this observation. Many vegetables produce chemicals that activate AhR in the gut. We found that ahr-activating chemicals in the diet can correct for deficiencies caused by inadequate AhR stimulation. This restores the differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells, provides resistance to intestinal infection, and prevents colon cancer from developing Red Cabbage Color."
"These findings give reason for optimism: while we cannot alter the genetic factors that increase our risk of developing colon cancer, we may be able to mitigate these risks by eating an appropriate diet that contains large amounts of vegetables 3,3'-Diindolylmethane."
In addition to correcting for altered ahr-dependent gene expression, dietary I3C also produced surprising results in unmodified mice with normal AhR expression. Despite the accepted standard of food and diet rich in I3C normal mice did not produce cancer during the study, but those who accept the "purification on the control of the diet (purified control message Diindolylmethane)" feeding has developed tumors in mice.
